WACO, Texas (AP) – Alexis Prince prefers taking shots over questions for No. 3 Baylor.

That shyness Prince exhibits when talking to reporters after the game is radically different from her approach on the court during it.

Prince scored 18 points and was big in two key runs to help the Lady Bears win their 17th consecutive game, 68-46 over Kansas State on Saturday.

“She’s not going to turn down a shot,” coach Kim Mulkey said. “And we don’t want her to.”

Baylor (18-1, 7-0 Big 12) went ahead to stay with a 15-1 run over a nearly 6 1/2-minute span in the first half when the Wildcats missed eight consecutive shots after Brianna Craig’s 3-pointer gave them their only lead at 6-5.
